Johnny Deller.

George Reed, Johnny, Johnny, at Floyds of England.

Well, hi, George. What can it do for you?

Well, Johnny... Johnny, I'm afraid I've got myself into a rather embarrassing situation.

Yeah, what have you done this time?

One of the company's most important clients is a man named Orson Ogilvy Terwilliger.

Retired, he's a collector. He lives down near the little town of Bethel, New York. Where's that? Across the Hudson, east of Poughkeepsie, between Montesolo and Cachecton and the Mongob Valley. Oh, hold it. I better look it up on the map. Yes, I wish you would, Johnny, then go on down there right away. Well, why not? But what for?

Terwilliger insists that someone from the company, preferably I, call on him immediately. Immediately, Johnny, regarding some change he wants to make in his life insurance policy. What kind of a change? Well, I haven't the least idea, but it's a really sizable policy. How sizable? Over half a million. That's sizable? with a double indemnity clause Wowie You can see why it's important That we cater to this man

All right so why don't you tear on down there? Well, you see, Johnny, well, I... Oh, dear. Yeah? What's the matter, Georgie? I'm making this call from the city jail. You what? No, some fool traffic cop. I mean, one of our fine highway patrolmen. Well, I'm afraid in my anxiety to get down to see Mr. Terwilliger, well, I may have been speeding a little, and, well, I made the mistake of arguing with this officer quite vehemently, Johnny. And, well, my hearing isn't until tomorrow morning. Well, look, why don't you send somebody else from the office to see this man?

Have my own employees find out what's happened?

All right, then telephone him.

And have him find out?

Oh, please, Johnny, go down there and...

Listen, I'll double whatever your expenses are and give you $100 besides.

Oh.

But now is that really all there is for me to do?

Just find out from him what change he wants in his policy?

Yes.

But why do you ask that way?

Oh, nothing, nothing.

Only every time you hand me one of these real easy assignments,

I find I'm lucky to get out of it alive.
